Chapter 19: The Prancing Horse

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him like a torrential rain, Chen Cheng looked back and saw thousands of cavalry as if they had taken the wrong medicine, frantically whipping the poor mounts, forcing them to run faster. He was taken aback in his heart, and did not know why they were so desperate, but he did not feel afraid, and drew his arrow, and shot it backwards with a bow.

The bowstring shook, the arrows flew out, the force was still strong, but the inevitable arrow failed. Watching the arrow pass by the enemy's side, Chen Cheng was surprised for a moment, but then he understood. He felt the wind blowing on his face, estimated the speed and direction of the wind, and bent his bow again. This time, the crosshairs shifted a position to the left.

At the forefront of the pursuers was a cavalry general among the rebels. He fought very bravely, and was chasing wildly with his head covered, but suddenly an arrow flew from the left side of his cheek. Although he wasn't shot, his face hurt from the strong wind.

He was startled, and when he looked up and saw the enemy horse bending his bow and shooting, he subconsciously kicked the horse's belly with his left foot, causing the horse to run to the right. Most people are accustomed to holding a bow in their left hand and pulling the string in their right hand, so they can only shoot arrows to the left. If you dodge to the right, the enemy in front of you will not be able to shoot him, but will be exposed to his attack area.

As soon as Chen Cheng drew his bow, he saw the enemy behind him beating his horse and heading to the right. He didn't care, changed his target, and with a loosening of his fingers, the arrow pierced into the chest of a black horse. The black horse was hit by an arrow, and immediately bent forward in frustration and threw the rider on his back out. Chen Cheng immediately handed the bow to his right hand, drew an arrow with his left hand, and turned around and shot an arrow at the rebel cavalry general in the right rear.

The rebel cavalry general didn't know that Chen Cheng could shoot arrows with his left hand, and when he saw Chen Cheng suddenly turn to the right, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he wanted to dodge, but where did he come from? At the sound of the bowstring, he was shot in the door, screamed and fell off his horse, and was immediately trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves. Seeing this, Chen Cheng laughed loudly and said loudly: "Stupid, right? We'll shoot left and right! ”

Seeing that his companion was killed, the pursuers also took off their bows and arrows one after another and shot at Chen Cheng. However, the bow was soft, and it was not easy to exert force on horseback, and the arrow did not go far before it fell weakly to the ground. Instead, Chen Cheng reflexively unhurriedly and shot over the enemies who were chasing too far behind.

Seeing him so brave, the pursuers all gasped and slowed down their horses. The angry Zhang Chun is very scary, but as long as he doesn't lean in, he will not be the unlucky one. Even if it happens, it's a matter for the future. Now rush to the front, if you take an arrow, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

Besides, there are so many people, can Zhang Chun really cut them all? If he really dares to do this, then the big guy has no choice but to rebel?

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the pursuers who have figured it out have become more and more sluggish. Zhang Chun saw this situation, where did he not know what these guys thought? But what can he do if he knows what he knows?

The Han Dynasty was not far from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there were a large number of Warring States legacies. Most of the people are simple and strong, and while they pay attention to loyalty, they also have great revanchism. In other words, loyalty and revenge are twin brothers, the relationship between light and shadow. If you really kill people indiscriminately, maybe you will be cut down by your own family without the help of officers and soldiers.

And. He also needs those Han people to help him suppress the larger number of Hu people, but he will not do anything to destroy his foundation. He was angry in his heart, but he did not lose his mind, and he was still a qualified commander. Zhang Chun shouted loudly on horseback and ordered the cavalry to surround him from three sides.

There is a big river ahead, and no matter how good the thief bird in front of him is, no matter how good his riding skills are, no matter how high his archery skills are, he is forced to the river, and see if he can still fly to the sky? With such a thought, Zhang Chun and the cavalry chased after him.

Chen Cheng shot a bag of arrows, but the pursuers were still hanging behind him. Seeing that he was on the river, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The soil of this naturally formed riverside is generally soft, and it is not suitable for cavalry galloping. The river was ten meters wide, and there was no bridge on it, so he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and run downstream along the river.

However, there was already a group of Wuhuan light cavalry fighting horses and blocking the direction downstream. These Wuhuan people have very poor combat effectiveness and poor equipment, but their riding skills are very good, but they are all lightly armed and do not carry weights, so they run fast. Because it is directly opposite Guanzi City, the Wuhuan people in the east are better able to fight than the clansmen on the west bank.

And he is not only wearing iron armor, but also a piece of chain mail inside, which is hard enough, but the weight is too much. Even with the fourth-level "horsemanship" bonus, he could only reach the river at about the same time as those Wuhuan people. Seeing him rushing downstream, the Wuhuan people either opened their bows and shot arrows, or rushed over with spears, and some even threw ropes to try to trap him.

Seeing the Wuhuan people's juggling movements on horseback, Chen Cheng held a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right, and shouted: "The man with the horse pole, you are mighty and majestic!" ”

It's just a pity that no one understands these complaints, and they are flattering and thrown to the blind. With a shout, the spear stabbed out. This shot is castrated, which can be described as: a little cold man arrives first, and then the gun comes out like a dragon!

The two Wuhuan people who were oncoming were stabbed to death on horseback, and Chen Cheng immediately swept with his spear, knocking several other enemies off their horses. However, after parrying two assassinations with his shield, he was also shot in his body, but fortunately, he was wearing a double armor, plus the "Iron Bone" skill and the buff of "Damage Taken Reduced by Three-Quarters", and only lost four HP. Compared with the total amount of more than 80 points, it is not even a "small break".

The damage was not great, but the impact that should have been there was not reduced at all Chen Cheng only felt that his body shook suddenly, his left foot was tightened in the saddle, and he was almost about to fall off the horse. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in the end, otherwise, even if he could fight again, in this case, Ma Na would have to be given for nothing.

Riding and chopping, riding and chopping, there are no horses in the field, so how can you chop them?

The first array of Wuhuan people was killed, and there were three times as many enemies behind. Chen Cheng pulled out an arrow on the horse's back, and quickly estimated that if he forcibly rushed over, he was afraid that the blood volume of the war horse would drop by half. But if you don't rush, then you will definitely die!

So, let's rush!

Feeling his heart, the war horse ran faster and faster. After getting rid of all distractions, all that was left in my brain was the fighting. Chen Cheng only felt that the adrenaline concentration in his body was rising rapidly, and under the high concentration of his mind, everything seemed to become slow.

Everything around him was taken into account, and after precise calculations, Chen Cheng raised his shield to block the oncoming spear thrust that posed the greatest threat. After a few more blows on his body, he shook his spirits and danced a spear like a rainstorm of pear blossoms. Seven or eight Wuhuan cavalrymen were knocked off their horses as soon as they saw each other, but fortunately, the soil by the river was soft, and the number of cavalry on the side was not too large, so that some of them saved their lives.

After rushing out of the enemy formation, Chen Cheng looked ahead, and hundreds of cavalry were coming in the distance. Turning back, the pursuers still followed behind him like hanging boots. Damn it! Is there any end to it? He jerked his horse's head and turned around and ran southeast. The cavalry behind and in front of them also turned. He ran a few hundred meters, turned again, and ran wildly to the west.

followed Chen Cheng several times, Zhang Chun did not laugh angrily, the other party ran around like this, it would only be a waste of horsepower. If it's not a mess, how can this be? Thinking of this, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, he showed a cruel and excited gaze, and roared loudly: "He can't do it anymore, the one who catches him will reward ten sheep!" ”

The wind in his ears was whistling, and Chen Cheng vaguely heard that someone seemed to be roaring loudly on the side, but the sound was not loud enough, and it was covered by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. He put away his iron armor, chain mail, spear, and shield, and then leaned down and shouted in the ear of his horse, "Horse, horse." It's all up to you! ”

The faster the war horse galloped, the faster it galloped, the more it galloped, and after galloping to the river, it kicked its hind hooves and jumped out of the air towards the opposite bank!

Seeing Chen Cheng riding on horseback, jumping towards the opposite side like a cloud, Zhang Chun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he strangled the war horse suddenly, wondering if he hadn't woken up, everything that happened now was in a dream? If it wasn't in a dream, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?

The war horse reached the highest place, Chen Cheng only felt that his heart was relaxed, and the nerves that had been tense relaxed. Even at the highest point, it is less than ten meters, and it is not as high as a three- or four-story building. But how can the feeling of jumping into the air on horseback be comparable to standing on the roof?

"Bang!"

The two front hooves landed on the soft earth by the river, and the horse did not stop, and rushed forward for a long distance before slowing down. Chen Cheng grabbed the reins, let the horses slowly return to the river, and then laughed loudly at the enemy troops who stopped on the opposite side of the riverbank. After the war, the whole body is comfortable, and only by laughing out loud can I vent the happy emotions in my heart.

The elite cavalry of the rebels are all on the east bank, and some of the infantry on the west bank may be able to fight, but the cavalry are all Xianbei and Wuhuan people with inferior equipment and combat effectiveness. Besides, now that the sun is about to set, who will be able to catch up with him after it gets dark in a while?

The sunset was already half obscured by the mountains, Zhang Chun looked across the river, only to see half of the sun burning behind the enemy horseman, and the man in the flame was as mighty as a god. His eyes were stung by the scene, and his heart twitched. With his left hand, he grasped the warbow, but the bow seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift it.

Zhang Chun knew that it was not that he had no strength to open his bow and open his arrows, but that after seeing Fang Cai's miraculous scene, his confidence was greatly damaged, and he no longer had the courage and fearlessness. He lamented in his heart: Could it be that the Han room is not exhausted? Otherwise, how could there be so many heroes one after another? In the past, there was a brave and invincible Gongsun Zhan, and now there is such a demon, and the courage is even higher than that of Gongsun Bogui.

He planned for a long time and put a lot of effort into it, luring the enemy and defeating him, so that Gongsun Zai was besieged in Guanzi City. What I saw was about to be completed, but the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers had already arrived. In the mountains to the west, it is not known how many men and horses have been ambushed.

Once again, Zhang Chun felt despair, just like the last time he was defeated by Gongsun Zhan. But then, he relented again, and things were out of control before they could be controlled. Even if you kill the last Wuhuan person, you have to defeat the reinforcements of the imperial court!

On the west bank, Chen Cheng looked at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side with a panicked look, and laughed: "Thank you for sending you off, no thanks, farewell!" ”

"Wait!" Zhang Chun looked at the high-spirited enemy and said loudly: "Can the enemy general leave his name?" ”

Chen Cheng's mind turned sharply, thinking of the heroes and heroes he had met after coming to this world, and thinking of Yuan Shao Cao Cao, who had set his capital in Yecheng, so he laughed and said: "Chen Cheng of a certain Wei Mansion! ”

As for why he thought of Yecheng, he thought of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he thought of Wei Mansion, Chen Cheng said that he had always had a clear brain circuit.

"Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng," Zhang Chun pronounced the name twice, and said in a low voice: "The land of Yan Zhao is indeed full of heroes!" ”

He raised his head and shouted at Chen Cheng, who was about to leave, "Chen Cheng, one day, I will catch you!" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then it depends on which of us has a longer life!" ”
